I have posted past match photos on here (a long time ago) from Creekside Firing range matches. As well as on AR15.com. Joe may have some photos on his website, not sure. I have a ton on my FB page.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

A quick match question...

Do you have to shoot the same gun in the early side match as the main match?

Thanks!

I am 99.9% sure that the answer is yes.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I am very excited about this match, I've spoke with several shooters who are attending and it's goin to be a great time.
Thanks Mammoth for giving us shooters something do this winter, should help with the cabin fever!

 

[Short-bus]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I have a pretty simple question, perhaps is petty, and silly of me to have any concern. But we're talking about a hotel that's hosting the accommodations for about 100 shooters. This hotel is going to be a known place where there are going to be a LOT of firearms, and several class III NFA regulated items.

What kind of security is the hotel venue going to have? I myself am not terribly concerned as I don't have a lot of money in my stuff. However i've talked to other shooters that are attending that have concerns about having upwards of $7K worth of firearms, suppressors, and other gear in the room unattended. There is a little concern with a few.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm willing to bet this competition will be one of the safest places in the country for firearms the weekend of the comp.

Also...I believe the PanAm World Championship Shotgun match was there a few months ago...and I don't believe there were any problems.

 

[socket70]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Yes the PanAm was here. This is also the location of the Blue Ridge Mountain 3 Gun which has 200+ competitors. The hotel is well accustomed to having large numbers of firearms on premises.

The other thing to consider is the overall schedule of the match. You'll likely be at the hotel or shooting almost all of the time. You can certainly leave to go eat, but they've got a nice restaurant onsite. I plan on eating there most of the time. As the food and service are good.

 

[Short-bus]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I kinda figured that the schedule would really only allow that we'd either be shooting, or sleeping anyway. Hearing that other comps were held and that there weren't any issues is good to hear.

I hope nobody things that I was attempting to stir the pot.

[socket70]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

No worries Branden. There are no stupid questions.

Well, except for ones that have already been asked an answered.

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Good question Dust Remover. I have stayed there more than a few times. I have never worried about anything being stolen.

You will more than likely have your gear with you while shooting(or at least I hope you do).

The people at the hotel are more like a family running it. One of the owners is also a local police officer there.

 

[ScottS1W]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I just checked with the resort and learned that the restaurant normally opens at 7:AM.
Have other arrangements been made with them to open earlier or will we be on our own to fuel up Saturday morning before we head to the stages? That 6:30 start is going to require some calories.
Sorry about the newbie questions.

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

It has already been arranged for breakfast to be served early for the match.

Just checked the extended weather. Looks pretty good. Highs around 54 and lows around 28. Chance of rain Saturday, bring your raingear. Rain will not hold us up.

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I have one slot open for anyone that is interested. Everyone on the waiting list wants to shoot with their own friend.

Let me know if anybody wants this slot.

 

[Barrel Nut]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I want the slot... I just mailed in the application today. If it is available ill take it.

If you want the spot you need to send him an e-mail to confirm. I wouldn't rely on the mail to get your application there first. Just sayin'.

 

[Barrel Nut]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Good idea. I sent him a pm on here. But. I'll also hit his email.

[bmarc69]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm as ready as I'm gonna get. No wait!!!!! I still need to load ammo. Guess I'm not ready at all.

 

[1b375]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Just got back from prepping some of the stages in Kentucky.

Gonna be alot of fun. Right now the weather forecast cast says sunny and hi's around 42 and low's around 25. But don't worry it will change again. Weather men suck.

I wil give some more updates around Monday or Tuesday. I will be going back up Sunday to set all the stages the first of the week.

Looking forward to seeing everyone that is coming.

Registration is at the hotel. Just ask the clerk where to register after you check into the hotel.

There restaurant will be open Friday for lunch and dinner.

Saturday the restaurant will be open for breakfast. You will have the opportunity on Friday to order a sack lunch for Saturday.

*Saturday night is the match dinner sponsored by Barret to all competitors.

Sunday the restaurant will be open for all meals.

 

[Todd Morris]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Getting really close to time.Just checked the forecast and looks like it will be cold and dry.I'm hoping those of us from the deep south can handle the cold.Having never shot in the hills before i'm sure this will be an adventure for a few of us.

 

[Malibumick]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm as ready as I'll ever be. I'm looking forward to this match it will be my first east of the mississippi. Also my son is shooting with me and it will be his first ever match.

Just don't let it rain!!! I hate the rain.

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Branches ? Huh ?

 

[Short-bus]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm headed out here in a bit to do one last train-up for Mammoth. Gotta make sure that my loads are on (gonna suck if something's wrong, already loaded up 300 rounds), and make sure that i've done some work on alternate positions to see how they feel.

See everyone in less than a week. I'm really looking forward to meeting a lot of new people, and competing for last place.

Your gonna have a lot of competition for last place. Better bring your Z game

 

[Winny]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Hopefully there is a door prize for the last place, gives me something to strive for!

 

[Tom Sarver]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I know I'm going to be traveling light and I have about 500 irons in the fire. I'm treating the match as a hunt out west with multiple targets to shoot.
I'm getting my gear together in the next couple of days.
I think it would be a great idea if we could make a check list and compare what each of us is going to employ to compete in the match. I will be shooting two rifles (open and Heavy) so I have some planning to do.
I will have my list up in a day or two if it will help anyone.
We may all learn what we are forgetting or overlooking and learn from each others mistakes. I always get laughed at on a hunt but I always end up dragging someting out...lol.

 

[Breeze260]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

That would be nice for some of us "Match Virgins" because I know I'm going to bring stuff I don't need and forget some I do.
Oh well I'll be there having fun

 

[poison123]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Here's what I plan on shooting the match with:

Rifle, Ammo

Gunslinger 2 bag with their shooting rest on it in a compact form.
Badger Bone
Sling

Spotter will be using a Spotting scope.
Range Card Cheat sheet.
Dope Card.

 

[USGUNWORKS]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Rifle
solar coffee thermos
scones
hot rod magazines
breath mints
Hot dogs
marshmallows
firewood
ammo if there's room

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Good luck to the Thunder Valley Precision shooters attending this match. Bring home the gold!

 

[M. K. Musser]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm one of the TVP shooters and hoping to bring home the aluminum.

 

[bmarc69]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I'm not a TVP shooter but I play one on the internet. I'm hoping to not be "that guy"!!!!!!

 

[AKAce]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

Seeing that 2 of the 5 shooters in Heavy are Immortals.... My Crew is just hunting that Elusive 3rd place. Good Luck Dock and Deadeye.

 

[Short-bus]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I had a major confidence booster today, I think i'm going for the gold, 5th from last or worse, somebody else is going to have to fun for last place, lol. Always a good day when you're hitting 700 yards in 15mph variable winds on you first shot.

Branden

 

[Tom Sarver]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I wish everyone luck..especially a few of our TVP shooters who have worked so hard to get to were they are today. I think it will be a great experience for all of us to meet and spend some time BS'n about what we are all so passionant about. We are the few, and in my time of living my dream I have meet some very interesting people and made some very very good friends along the way. I look forward to meeting all of the competitors and folks running the show. I'm loading for two rifles starting tomorrow...then getting my gear ready.

Good luck everyone!

Who's planning on using a suppressor in the comp? I might on the the heavy rifle.

[T-Hoe]

Re: Mammoth Sniper Challenge - Park City, KY

I know once we start the match we can not change the configuration of our rifles, but would changing the bi-pod to a longer one be allowed during the match? Is that changing legal or not?
